Posted by Feigeasia Pte Ltd on February 6th, 2023

Filling machines are devices that are intended to aid in the process of packaging finished products especially food and beverage products, into a suitable container which can be easily transported to the retailer and consumer without getting spoilt or tampered so that the contents remain safe and intact. Fillers, by which name they are generally referred to, are filling machines, and these fillers are not only useful in filling food and beverage products but are also employed in other products too.

Apart from food and other edible products, filling machines are used to fill shampoos, oils, ointments, pastes, glues, and a variety of other daily-use products as well. These products are filled by various filling machines into a bottle, pouch, or can, depending on the nature and physical state of the product. Since the usage of filling varies, accordingly, different kinds of fillers or filling machines are employed in the packaging sector or industry.

Usually, the type of filling machine that has to be used is determined by the nature, type, and physical state of the product that has to be filled. Apart from this, other requirements include the level of quality to be retained, shelf-life, availability to the consumer, feasibility of the type of packaging, and other different variables. Since the type of products may be solid, semi-solids, liquids that are free flowing, liquids that are viscous etc., any filling machine with more flexibility and adaptability are preferred accordingly. Selecting the proper filling machine can surely increase the production line's capacities, enhance sales, and contribute positively to the business's success.

Liquid filling machines or free flow fillers are employed mostly in the food and beverage industry since the dispensing capacity is very precise, especially in the case of liquid products where the need for filling various types of containers such as glass or plastic bottles, paper or thermocol cartons, tin or plastic cans, or cups must be fulfilled. While this filler is used in cases of liquids like mineral water, carbonated or soft drinks, sauces, cooking oil, and soup, the machine comes in manual, fully automatic liquid filling machine, and semi-automatic liquid filling machine variants for more convenience.

Other kinds of filling machines are powder filling machines used in filling free-flowing as well as non-free-flowing granulated products, vibratory weigh filling machines employed in controlled dispersal of unsuitable products, capsule fillers made use of in the pharmaceutical sector, and positive displacement pump fillers mainly used in the case of high-viscosity liquids such as gels, creams, and lotions.
